I-Nepal izodlala umshado wasebukhosini onomehluko lapho inkosana yaseNdiya ephumela obala eyisitabane ishada nomlingani wayo ethempelini lamaHindu eKathmandu.
Lo mcimbi uyisiqalo salokho umeluleki wezomthetho waseNepal u-Sunil Babu Pant athemba ukuthi kuzoba ibhizinisi elinenzuzo enkulu ezweni lakhe, imboni yayo yezokuvakasha eyake yachuma isakhungathekile ngenxa yempi yombango eyaphela ngo-2006.
UPant, okuwukuphela kwelungu elisobala eliyisitabane ephalamende laseNepal, usesungule inkampani yezokuvakasha ebhekelela abavakashi abathandana nobulili obufanayo, athi babhekene nokucwaswa okukhulu emazweni amaningi ase-Asia.
Ukholelwa ukuthi i-Nepal, esenze amagxathu amakhulu ezindabeni zamalungelo ezitabane eminyakeni yamuva ngenxa yemizamo yakhe, isesimweni esihle sokuthola imali embonini elinganiselwa ku-$670 million emhlabeni jikelele.
“Uma singaletha ngisho nephesenti elilodwa laleyo makethe eNepal ingaba nkulu. Kodwa ngiyethemba ukuthi singaheha amaphesenti ayishumi,” kusho uPant, owakhethwa ngoMeyi 10 ukuba amele iqembu elincane lamakhomanisi ephalamende laseNepal.
“Izinqumo (kwezivakashi eziyizitabane) kulesi sifunda zincane kakhulu, futhi empeleni awukho umqhudelwano ovela eChina noma eNdiya. INepal ingenye yezindawo ezimbalwa lapho abantu bethola khona ezokuvakasha,” kusho yena.
UPant uthe uxakwe yimibuzo selokhu asungula inkampani yakhe yezokuvakasha, iPink Mountain.
Le nkampani izohlinzeka ngohambo lwezitabane lwezindawo ezinkulu zezivakashi zaseNepal - okuhlanganisa namathempeli amaHindu abonisa imifanekiso eqoshiwe kankulunkulu uShiva ovezwe njengendoda eyingxenye, owesifazane oyisigamu - kanye nokuhlela imikhosi yomshado.
Izinhlelo zikaPant zizuze ukwesekwa yinkonzo yezokuvakasha eNepal, izwe elondolozwe ngokujulile, ikakhulukazi lamaHindu kodwa elinezinqubomgomo ezithuthukayo kakhulu ngobungqingili e-Asia.
Eminyakeni emibili eyedlule, iNkantolo Ephakeme yakuleliya lizwe yayala uhulumeni ukuba ashaye imithetho ezoqinisekisa amalungelo ezitabane kanye nezitabane ngemuva kokuba iBlue Diamond Society, okuyiqembu elicindezela iPant, lifake isicelo.
Isisekelo sombuso esitsha selizwe, esilotshwa ngamalunga edale lephalamende okwamanje, sikhangelelwe ukuchaza umtshado njengomanyano phakathi kwabantu abadala ababili kungakhathalekile ukuthi bangobulili buni, njalo uqede ubandlululo olusekelwe emacansini.
ULaxman Bhattarai, ongunobhala ohlanganyele eMnyangweni Wezokuvakasha eNepal, uthe uhulumeni akanayo imigomo eqondile mayelana nokuvakasha kwezitabane, kodwa uzokweseka ibhizinisi likaPant.
"Uhulumeni umemezele isifiso sakhe sokuheha isigidi sezivakashi eNepal ngo-2011 nokuwukwanda okukhulu," esho.
Babalelwa ku-500,000 abavakashi bakwamanye amazwe abavakashela eNepal ngo-2009.
“INepal iyindawo ephephile ongafika kuyo manje. Sifuna ukuthuthukisa izindawo ezintsha zokuvakasha futhi senze abantu babuye ngemva kwempi yombango. Uma engasisiza nganoma iyiphi indlela, siyajabula.”
Umshado wenkosana yaseNdiya u-Manvendra Singh Gohil, isekela lomndeni owake wabusa i-Rajpipla esifundazweni esisentshonalanga ye-Gujarat, ubukeka ungase udale uhlobo lokukhangisa ibhizinisi lezokuvakasha laseNepal eliludinga kakhulu.
U-Pant ukholelwa ukuthi uzolandelwa eminye imicimbi eminingi enjalo, futhi usevele uhlela umshado wezithandani ezithandanayo ezivela eMassachusetts ezifuna ukwenza imitjhado yazo e-Mustang, phezulu e-Himalayas.
